Lots of messy work, we had one when I was a kid, my mum was delighted when hers got changed for an electric stove.....I understand fully. Good luck

To clean, wipe the window with stove glass cleaner, leave for five minutes, then remove with a damp rag. Clean a sooty window on a wood-burning stove withwood ash applied on a damp cloth. Rub away the soot and then wipe with a cleancloth. Best of luck :)

To clean the glass, get a hot fire going with well seasoned hard wood. Keep it going for a couple of hours. Voila, clean glass. And that is the best way to keep your chimney clean. A ripping hot fire every couple of weeks will dry out the creosote before it has a chance to build up.

If you want to clean the ash, make sure the fire is way out. Then scoop the ash into a metal container and set outside. You don't want to completely clean out the ash, it makes a great bed for the next fire.

WE have a wood burning stove in our basement that we use daily in the wintertime. My husband cleans it at the beginning of the season with a liquid stove polish he gets at the hardware store.
